## Background
BACKGROUND
The amount of available digital content is enormous and rapidly increasing. Considering the World Wide Web alone, a typical user may access billions of substantially-static Web pages including archival information, as well as live data sources such as news and social networking feeds, microblogging sources, and periodically-updating output from media outlets. Within large enterprises, additional accessible information includes corporate websites, wikis, document repositories, support forums and knowledge bases.
The foregoing circumstances present several challenges to a user. First, the user requires a system for locating particular information within this huge and growing information pool. Conventional search engines provide a fairly effective approach to this challenge in most usage scenarios.
On the other hand, a user may wish to utilize the available digital information to keep abreast of developments related to certain topics. Some systems allow a user to subscribe to “alerts” related to topics of interest, or to build personalized “digital newspapers” which are periodically updated with information relating to topics of interest. However, such systems do not efficiently cope with the vast replication of information across the available information sources. Consequently, these systems either present the user with several content items (e.g., articles) pertaining to the same piece of knowledge (e.g., a news event) but received from different sources, or these systems limit the data sources so that only one content item is received for each piece of knowledge.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The following description is provided to enable any person in the art to make and use the described embodiments and sets forth the best mode contemplated for carrying out some embodiments. Various modifications, however, will remain readily apparent to those in the art.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of environment 100. Environment 100 represents a logical architecture for describing some embodiments, and actual implementations may include more or different components arranged in any manner. The elements of environment 100 may represent software elements, hardware elements, or any combination thereof. For example, environment 100 may be implemented using any number of computing devices, and one or more processors within environment 100 may execute program code to cause corresponding computing devices to perform processes described herein.
Generally, each logical element described herein may be implemented by any number of devices coupled via any number of public and/or private networks.

Environment 100 includes aggregator service 110, data sources 120 and client 130. Aggregator service 110 may operate to receive data content from data sources 120 and to provide the data content to client 130. As described below, aggregator service 110 may determine a similarity between two or more pieces of data content and create an association between such two or more pieces of data content in order to provide efficient consumption thereof by client 130. Aggregator service 110 may comprise an application running on an application platform which provides a suite of applications, such as but not limited to an enterprise resource platform. According to some embodiments, aggregator service 110 is an application executed within a client device.
Data sources 130 are represented using a dashed line to indicate that any number and types of data sources may be used in conjunction with some embodiments. Non-exhaustive examples of data sources 130 include enterprise applications (e.g., SAP CRM, SalesForce.com), social networks (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn), groupware data (e.g., Microsoft Outlook files), the World Wide Web, one or more private intranets, one or more data warehouses, one or more text files, one or more spreadsheets and any other suitable data store and/or feed. Aggregator service 110 may include appropriate interfaces required for communicating with each type of data sources 120.
Client 130 may comprise a software application (e.g., a Web browser, a proprietary front-end application), a device (e.g., a desktop personal computer, a laptop personal computer, a tablet personal computer, a smartphone, etc.), or any combination thereof. Client 130 may receive information from aggregator service 110 via subscription and/or via discrete requests. Client 130 may provide a user interface to display data content associations generated by aggregator service 110.
FIG. 2 comprises a flow diagram of process 200 according to some embodiments. Process 200 may be executed by aggregator service according to some embodiments. Process 200 and all other processes mentioned herein may be embodied in computer-executable program code read from one or more of non-transitory computer-readable media, such as a floppy disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a Flash drive, and a magnetic tape, and then stored in a compressed, uncompiled and/or encrypted format. In some embodiments, hard-wired circuitry may be used in place of, or in combination with, program code for implementation of processes according to some embodiments. Embodiments are therefore not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.
FIG. 3 illustrates system 300 according to some embodiments. System 300 may comprise an implementation of environment 100, but embodiments of environment 100 and of system 300 are not limited thereto. Examples of process 200 will be described below with respect to system 300.
Data content is initially received at S210. The data content may be pushed to aggregator service 310 by one or more data sources 320 based on a subscription (e.g., a feed), requested by aggregator service 310 from one or more data sources 320, obtained by a crawler of aggregator service 310, or otherwise received using any suitable mechanism that is or becomes known.
Next, at S220, a reference to a storage location of the data content is stored. For example, if the data content is a Web article associated with a particular Uniform Resource Locator, the particular Uniform Resource Locator may be stored at S220. In some embodiments, the storage location is different from a location from which the data content was received. In this regard, the received data content may be cached locally, and the stored reference may point to the cached location.
According to the present example, the reference is stored in feed store 312. FIG. 4A includes a tabular representation of a portion of data stored within feed store 312 prior to the present example according to some embodiments. As shown, the stored references are pointers and each reference is associated with a hash to facilitate access to the reference via the hash. FIG. 4A also illustrates the contents of graph store 315 at the commencement of the presently-described example. These contents and the usage thereof will be described below.
FIG. 4B illustrates the storage of a reference to a storage location at S220 according to some embodiments. More particularly, feed store 312 now includes a reference to an RSS feed, which is associated with hash “12”. As also illustrated, graph store 315 is unchanged from FIG. 4B at this point of process 200.
A semantic representation of the received data content is generated at S230. Prior to generation of the semantic representation, the received data content may be transformed into a standardized format (e.g., Atom) which is suitable for input to the component which generates the semantic representation. According to the FIG. 3 embodiment, this component is semantic classifier 313.
Generally, and according to some embodiments, the semantic representation indicates two or more entity types and one or more instances of each of the entity types that exist within the data content. Therefore, generation of the semantic representation may consist of identifying entities which are present in the data content, determining an entity type of each entity, and creating a semantic digest which lists the determined entity types and the entities of each type which exist in the data content.
According to some embodiments, the semantic representation is a resource definition framework (RDF) graph, which may be instantiated as an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) document according to known techniques. For example, semantic classifier 313 may implement OpenCalais in order to receive Atom-formatted data content and to generate an XML document describing an RDF graph therefrom.
In a particular example of S230 according to some embodiments, it will be assumed that the following data content was received at S210:
‘Stock prices rose this morning after positive results were announced by Acme Inc. The pharmaceutical giant has experienced revenue growth after releasing Paracetalin, a new cholesterol drug.’
A semantic representation (e.g., RDF graph) generated based on the above data content may include the following entities and entity instances (formatted below as entity: entity instances):
Company: Acme Inc.
Product: Paracetalin
Industry Term: cholesterol drug, stock prices, revenue growth, product release
Industry Type: pharmaceutical
Category: financial
Next, at S240, it is determined whether the generated semantic representation is similar to any previously-stored semantic representation. In this regard, graph store 315 stores semantic representations which are respectively associated with (and were generated based on) the data content referenced in feed store 312. Such data content may have been received by aggregator service 310 and processed as described above prior to the present example. FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B each depict two semantic representations which existed within graph store 315 prior to the present example. Each of these representations was generated as described above based on the data content referenced in feed store 312 of FIG. 4A.
Therefore, according to the present example, the semantic representation of the data content received at S210 is compared with the semantic representations of graph store 315 to determine whether any sufficient similarities exist. According to some embodiments of S240, two semantic representations are compared with one another by first determining a number of entity instances which are shared between the two semantic representations. In some embodiments, also determined at S240 is a ratio of the number of shared instances to the number of instances of the smaller (i.e., measured by number of entity instances) semantic representation.
Both the number of shared instances and the ratio may be compared against respective thresholds to determine whether two semantic representations are similar. Flow proceeds from S240 to S260 if a stored semantic representation is determined to be similar to the current semantic representation. If the semantic representation generated at S230 is determined to be similar to more than one stored semantic representation at S240, S230 may also include calculating a similarity score for each of the more than one stored semantic representations based on each stored semantic representation's corresponding number of shared instances and determined ratio, and identifying the stored semantic representation associated with the highest similarity score.
A new semantic representation is generated at S260 based on the semantic representation generated at S230 and on the stored similar semantic representation identified at S240. According to some embodiments, S260 includes applying a UNION operation to the current semantic representation and the similar stored semantic representation to create a third semantic representation. Other methods for creating a new semantic representation based on two semantic representations may be employed at S260, including the methods described with respect to S230.
At S270, the new semantic representation is associated with the reference which was stored at S220, and with a reference to a storage location of data content associated with the stored semantic representation which was identified at S240. FIG. 4C illustrates associations created at S270 according to some embodiments. As shown, graph store 315 now associates graph_id “34” with hash “12”. As described above, hash “12” is associated with a location of the data content received at S210. In the present example, graph_id “34” was associated with the previously-stored semantic representation and is now associated with the new semantic representation. Embodiments are not limited thereto (i.e., the new semantic representation may be associated with a new graph_id, which in turn is associated with hashes “1” and “12”).
Flow returns to S210 from S270 to receive new data content as described above. Continuing the present example, FIG. 4D shows that new data content has been received at S210 and a reference (i.e., hash “22”) to a storage location thereof (i.e., “www.newsonline.co . . . ) has been stored in feed store 312 at S220. A semantic representation of the data content is then generated at S230 as described above.
For purposes of the present example, it will be assumed that the semantic representation is not similar to any previously-stored semantic representations. Accordingly, the determination at S240 is negative and flow proceeds to S250. At S250, the semantic representation is associated with a reference to a storage location of the corresponding data content. FIG. 4E illustrates one embodiment in which a new entry has been added to graph store 315 at S250. The new entry includes a new graph_id “40” corresponding to the new semantic representation, and associates this graph_id with the hash “22” that is in turn associated with the storage location of the corresponding data content. Flow returns from S250 to S210 and continues as described above.
Accordingly, flow continues to cycle among S210 through S270 to receive data content, generate semantic representations based thereon, and to either update previously-stored semantic representations or store new semantic representations in association with references to corresponding data content. FIG. 4F illustrates feed store 312 and graph store 315 after several of such cycles. As shown, three additional references have been associated with graph_id “36” within graph store 315. Accordingly, a graph associated with graph_id “36” has been updated based on data content associated with each of the three references.
FIG. 5 is an outward view of graphical interface 500 according to some embodiments. Interface 500 may be displayed by a computing device (e.g., client 130) executing program code of a standalone application. Interface 500 may comprise a Web page displayed by a Web browser executed by such a computing device.
Interface 500 may display data provided by aggregator service 310. Specifically, aggregator service 310 may associate a subject tag with each entry of graph store 315, and area 505 may display the number of entries associated with each subject tag. As shown, a user has selected the tag “National”. Accordingly, list 510 is created based on the graph store entries associated with the “National” tag.
For example, each member 511-514 of list 510 corresponds to a single entry (i.e., a single semantic representation) noted in graph store 315. Entry 511 corresponds to graph_id 34, entry 512 corresponds to graph_id 36 and entry 513 corresponds to graph_id 40. The primary data content of each member 511-514 (i.e., Story A, Story B, etc.) may be the data content associated with the first-listed hash of its corresponding graph store entry, but embodiments are not limited thereto. Each member 511-514 indicates a number of “similar items”, which reflects the number of additional content references within its corresponding graph store entry. In the illustrated example, each member 511-514 also lists a data source and a timestamp associated with its primary data content. Such information may be stored in feed store 312, retrieved using the storage location information in feed store 312, or obtained by other means.
FIG. 6 shows interface 500 after selection of list member 512 according to some embodiments. In response to the selection, area 515 displays information related to the other data content referenced by the graph store entry to which member 512 corresponds. As shown in FIG. 4F, area 515 displays information related to content items associated with hashes “25”, “27” and “28”, each of which is associated with graph_id “36” in graph store 315. According to the present example, area 520 of interface 500 also displays the text of selected member 512 in response to the selection.
The user may select any content items listed in area 515 to review the text thereof in area 520. Similar functionality executes if the user proceeds to select another member of list 510. Moreover, selection of a different tag of area 505 results in the display of a list including one member for each stored semantic representation associated with the selected tag.
Some embodiments may therefore provide for efficient aggregation of received data content. This aggregation may be leveraged to facilitate intuitive and effective review of the data content.
